I’ll use this as my “ build log “...

[DRkNESS]

Well the lug nuts have arrived today, and I have an appointment on Monday to have the wheels installed.

 

[DRkNESS]

Ok new wheels have been installed and my Rebel wheels will be up for sale asap. The boxes that I have for them are NOT the greatest so this will be a local come and pick them up sale. I’ll per forum rules do a F/S listing with photos and my username.

Also take in account they just cane off of my truck and the wind around here is over 60mph so no cleaning as of yet.

 

[DRkNESS]

Not the best photo but with winds being over 60 mph, it’s the best I’m willing to do for now lol.

 

[DRkNESS]

Listed my Rebel wheels in the classified section.

 

[DRkNESS]

Swapped out Billet silver / chrome tail gate handle for solely a Billet silver one. Also swapped the black Ram head on tail gate for the oem fake chrome one.

I won’t put my nib Magnaflow cat back on until I sell my Rebel wheels lol. Found that way I will slow down my buying frenzy I hope.

Good idea. It's still hard to slow yourself down. I've been good with this truck, so far.

Not me which is why I’m doing the “ hold “ thing lol...

 

[DRkNESS]

Man, if I could find the “ right “ type of wheels for my Ram, I could put away my wallet at least until the next go round ha ha ha.

Thank you State of New Jersey for all that you do for our roads.

 

[DRkNESS]

I’m being sarcastic by the way as these tips aren’t even a month old !!!!

Jesus! So glad I live in a place that doesn’t use salt on the roads. I still love your truck and it looks great every time I see it!

Thank you, I’m pulling those off this weekend and I definitely see the need to go black lol.

The good part is that I had them checked and it’s only surface rust. So with that being the case I’ll be selling them for a low cost if someone is willing to put the time in for cleaning them up. Gives a 5th gen person an opportunity to enhance their factory look at a fraction of the cost.

I'd almost keep them just to run in the winter. I know it would be a pain swapping. I'm very familiar with salt, living in upstate NY (top of NY, not the "upstate" that NYC considers)

Trust me I would rather buy powder coated black ones once a year then having to polish these every month.

I was thinking that you could swap those on for the winter months and the black one's run in the summer. Have winter tips.

I see what you are saying but exhausts are my weakness and I can not stomach having to look at nasty looking ones.

I understand that. I'd probably spray them with some high temp paint. I cut the resonator off my 2500 and used the tail pipe section off of it along with the same section from my 2015 2500 to make a new tail pipe and used the black high temp paint with no prep this past summer and it's holding up perfectly through the winter. I didn't want it to dump just in front of the backside of the wheel well like I had it on my 15. It melted the fender well liner.

I just checked and I have three sets of exhaust systems for this darn truck lol. The even sadder part is that I have three sets of wheels also ....
